Mr Bates Vs The Post Office

Jason Beer is somewhat reminiscent of the West Indies pace attack in the 80/90s.

Relentless, brutal and terrifying.

Plus 2/3 deliveries that appear to be aimless and you think you may now be safe and getting comfortably in the crease - Then they roar in with a corker and you suddenly realise you are fucked

It's the 'Beer Pause'.

He'll stop to let a phrase sink in and explode off a full length with shame before he then smashes another lethal bouncer into the ribs.

"exculpate"
What a wonderful wonderful word.

Then look at you with a menacing ‘how’s zat’

Is there an audio only feed for proper test match vibes?

Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield are 2 hero’s of mine - For what they have achieved on and off the pitch, multiple times , they were finally and deservedly honoured with a CBE - I think I’d be a bit miffed to find that she was given the same award - Albeit it was withdrawn much later

Is any channel showing it live?
just watched the clip of her crying on the news, it just doesnt seem genuine to me.
The twitter/X post Randalla just posted sums her up.
She’s bloody awful.
Thing is, after all this will she really be taken to task for what she has been responsible for?

In her position, not sure I'd have turned up with the noose already around my neck ...

It's painful.  And now she's in tears.  I can't figure out if she was asleep at the wheel for the duration of her tenure, in denial, or simply willing to do whatever it took - including allowing innocent people to go to jail - to protect the PO's reputation.

I think she’s in a complete tailspin and has only relatively recently realised how completely fucked she is. 400 cases of supposed fraud and nobody ever told her anything? Not much of a boss then is she? Her only defence is to cry, say sorry multiple times and more or less claim “some big boys did it and ran off”. She deserves jail time and/or a massive fine.

I never cease to be amazed at how little these people seem to know about what is happening in their organisations when things go bad, yet are more than happy to pocket generous pay packages and receive honours and plaudits when things go right.
It's almost as if they don't think they should be held accountable for their actions, but that's crazy talk I know.

Typical

Lunch break and straight after and Marshall and Holding are better than before 

She is faltering beyond belief

Sadly I'm not even remotely surprised.

I think I was about 3 years old when that approach ceased to work with my mum.

Still, suppose she's got to try ...

I am concluding that the KC has understood more about how POL worked (or didn't) and who did what (or didn't) than she managed to learn in her 10-odd years as CEO, supposedly running that business.

It is like spending time in the nets practicing against S Warne - You know what is coming - You spend hours, Nasser H style, working it out, only to be bamboozled when you get out in the middle - The ball of the century is only just around the corner
